I was told my one doctor that I should get a chin implant

07/06/2010 by Dr. Epstein

Question:

I was told my one  doctor that I should get a chin implant along with my nose job.  I was not really planning on this.  I am open to the idea and would like to know  what sort of complications are associated with chin implants and how often they  occur.

Answer:

A chin implant is an  excellent operation to do with a nose job because, for the most part, you are  really are talking about effecting your profile entirely and making an  improvement to your whole look. A chin implant is usually inserted from  underneath the chin so that you do not have to worry about infection and the scar  is usually 1 cm to 2 cm in size, which is very small.  The chin implant is placed underneath the  periosteum of the bone and adheres to this area so that the implant itself does  not move when you move the chin and simulates just having an extended piece of  bone over the chin area. It is an absolutely excellent procedure, it heals over  about one week, it is permanent and the chance of infection is extremely  small.  The one particular possible  complication that we all pay attention to is to make sure that the mental  nerve, which is laterally out over the chin, is not disturbed so that you do  not get any numbness around the chin. In my practice of over 25 years, I think  I have not had more than one or two of the most minor complications with chin  implants, which is an absolutely excellent procedure.
